Workaround for new Indiana fantasy regulations?

JustinCruise · Aug 16, 2017

The site I use every season and everyone else has banned Indiana residents from participating in season long fantasy.

Anyone know a way to get around this? I work in Kentucky and thought about using my work address (they have never asked for proof of residence before, even last year when I finished second and cashed). But I play a $500 entry fee so how would that work if I won and they sent me a 1099 saying I live in Kentucky?

Join one of the rx leagues. I'm sure Yahoo or espn would allow you to play.

Use a VPN. I suggest HideMyAss

I've used master's the past 3 seasons. The other big ones banning Indiana players from money leagues are Apex, Yahoo, Elite, CBS

Anyone other than fan duel and draft kings banned Indiana because they can't afford or don't want to pay the $50,000 licensing fee and all the other bs that Indiana passed. And I don't play dfs. Only season long and only $500 entry and up. Just not worth the time commitment to play for less

Think I finally found one. NFFC. They have high dollar leagues, reputable company, PPR, blind bidding for FA. :toast:

interesting that they have no trades throughout the season. I actually love that because last year a stupid lopsided traded landed one guy in my league David Johnson for practically nothing. And he ended up beating me in the championship game.

This is really in depth and I like it.

It's not just based on H2H record. A lot of it is based on overall points to eliminate a lot of the luck involved.

You also get to rank your draft position preference. Then they pull names out of a hat. For example, say my preference is picking 1st, 2nd, 7th. And I get pulled out third BUT the first guy prefferred to pick 1st then the second guy prefferred to pick 12th. I would then pick 2nd. Pretty cool. I need to do a ton of mock drafts to figure out the best draft spot this year.
